Colorful pastes such as sandal paste, turmeric paste, or Kumkum are sometimes used for chakra activation and healing.
There are three basic types of chakra colors red, green and blue. They are related to hormone and behavior controller, thought and intelligence controller, and vision and spiritual controller respectively. Accordingly, the chakras are classified in the three groups:
- Red chakras – mainly associated with the physical body and hormones.
